Multicast addresses are special IPs in a given range -- you need to choose a
valid multicast address for the server to work properly. 192.168.0.129 lies
in the regular IP domain. The config file originially specified
225.2.1.5:4420 -- try that and then have freeamp listen to
rtp://225.2.15:4420. That should work.
